Blizzard has released information regarding the save transfer process for Diablo III ahead of the release of the Ultimate Evil Edition for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on August 19, 2014. Players will be able to transfer their save files from the original console release of the game to the Ultimate Evil Edition version using the instructions provided by Blizzard on its blog post.

Cross-generation, cross-brand transfers are supported, with PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners able to transfer their save to PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, although cross-brand transfers are not supported within the same console generation (e.g. Xbox 360 to PlayStation 3, or PlayStation 4 to Xbox One). Pre-order or brand-specific bonus content will only carry over if players choose remain on the same brand when transferring their save.
